China Eastern Airlines Repurchases 2.64 Million A Shares for RMB 10.00 Million; Pending Cancellations Rise to 6.73 Million Shares

Bulletin Express06-09

On 9 June 2026, China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited disclosed fresh share buybacks in a Next Day Disclosure Return filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The carrier acquired 2.64 million A shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange at prices ranging between RMB 3.77 and RMB 3.83, spending RMB 10.00 million in aggregate. These shares are designated for cancellation and will not be held as treasury stock.

Adding the latest purchase to earlier transactions on 5 June (2.51 million shares at RMB 3.98 each) and 8 June (1.58 million shares at RMB 3.79 each), a total of 6.73 million A shares are now awaiting cancellation. This represents roughly 0.03 % of the company’s pre-repurchase issued share base of 22.09 billion shares (17.02 billion A shares and 5.06 billion H shares).

Because the repurchased shares had not yet been cancelled by 9 June 2026, the company’s issued share count remained unchanged at 17.02 billion A shares and 22.09 billion total shares.

The airline confirmed that all buybacks were authorised by its board and executed in accordance with domestic regulations and Hong Kong listing rules.
